Lex G is in an independent production of a new film called 'End of the Line', by Canadian film producer Pierre Huard. Hopefully we'll see this film in the US at one of the festivals or it will make it's way to video here.

Here's a link to some Behind the Scenes pics from Pierre Huard's Facebook page.

It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that I must post that Lex Giggeroff, the brilliance behind the writing of Lexx, passed away suddenly from a heart attack at home this week. His brother Andre will post more details as soon as they are forthcoming. He posted this on facebook, so if any of you 'friend' him, there will be an update soon. Apparently he passed away while watching a movie at home.

A great great talent, the quirkiest and most outrageous sense of humor, and a brilliant writer. He will be sorely missed...taken long before his time.

How sad to pass away at 49, and even sadder to be alone when it happens, and on Christmas Eve. Nearly three full days before he was found.

I will mourn by watching the entire series anew, starting with I Worship His Shadow tonight.

Thanks for finding that article, I had no idea he had passed away Christmas Eve, I thought it was just a couple of days ago. This is truly a sad time for all of us. He and I emailed quite a bit last year and he was so funny and he enjoyed reading the board and the jokes, he was a member here for two years before I even knew it. We love you Lex and you will live forever in in your creations.

Condolences to Lex's family. This is a sad day in the Verse. But rather than mourn, I will celebrate the mark he made in helping to create something as powerful as Lexx. He touched millions of lives around the world.

I am so so saddened by the death of the absolutely magnificent LEX- what an amazingly talented creative genius
He will be sorely missed
He and I will be forever bonded because LEXX not only put me on the map science fiction wise as an actor but his name and I are linked because GIGGEROTA came from his name!
Will never forget that - will never forget you!
I am so shocked by this news and wish his family my sincerest condolences .
May you find the brightest Supernova Lex and shine down on us!!!!!

I don't want to believe it. I can't believe it. The amazing incredible Lex, who gave his name to our wonderful Lexx, cannot have left us so soon. It isn't right and it isn't fair. Lex, we hardly knew ye. Our friend, our entertainer, our wonderful funny man, what will we do without you?
Please, someone, tell me this is a very bad joke...I need a drink.

Edit: Hours and hours later, I'm still dumbfounded by this. How is it possible that we have to do without this genius? I'm so thankful we have Lexx to remember him by, not to mention Dr Rainbow and His Devine Shadow as well as the pilot from Lister, or was it Leester? and all the wonderful other parts he played in the series.

I couldn't believe it when I heard this. I had the privilege of meeting this lovely man at a Lexx uncon in Halifax some years ago. He had such a kind and generous spirit. He has left a legacy of work for us to appreciate. My condolences to his family and close friends at such a sad time. :-(

So sad to hear of Lex's passing. My condolences to his family. He will be missed by his fans and friends. At least his creativity lives on in Lexx and his other creations for those of us left to enjoy.

For what it is worth, I have been involved in a few threads--sadly--for people who have passed away, such as Douglas Adams. It does help the family to know so many people that they would never meet or know feel some of the loss they feel.

Perhaps an Admin or someone who has contact with actors/producers can forward a link to this thread to the family. Might help to know how many share in this loss.

In time I'll try to find something a little more eloquent to say. Until then, I'll leave it at this: I'll forever be indebted to Lex for the fearless creative vision he shared with us. Were it not for him and his motley crew of misfits, I never would have fallen in with THIS motley crew of misfits. I'm gonna have to invent a word to express how thankful I am for that.

Lex, wherever you are, I wish I'd gotten to know you better when I had the chance. Hopefully we'll bump into each other in the next cycle...

Discovering Lexx all those years ago is one of my fondest memories. The strangeness of it made such an impact on me. The world needs more people with quirky brains, but they keep being taken away. Mr. Gigeroff will be missed.

The great Mr. G wouldn't want any of his fans to be acting like blubbering fools, but I'm just still in shock and really truly sad.

Can't blame this one on the hormones. This is a massive FAIL on the part of the whole universe.....

I am wanting to make a tribute music video for Lex and am trying to think of the best song to use. But, every song that comes to mind just makes the tears start gushing again. I don't know if I can do this......

I sent Michael an email as soon as I heard the news from Andre. Michael was quite prompt with a reply. He said it was terrible news, that he'd spent a long time on the phone yesterday, apparently in contact with other friends of Lex, and stated that he'd been a wonderful human being.

Brian responded in a news article, and I can only assume that someone has contacted Jeff and Paul as well. I'm sure there will be an announcement soon of services planned for family and friends.

For what it is worth, I have been involved in a few threads--sadly--for people who have passed away, such as Douglas Adams. It does help the family to know so many people that they would never meet or know feel some of the loss they feel.

Perhaps an Admin or someone who has contact with actors/producers can forward a link to this thread to the family. Might help to know how many share in this loss.

--J.D.I sent an email to Andre with the link to this thread. I agree his family should be told what Lex meant to us. Perhaps it will give them some comfort.

Tried googling for more and found 2 articles possibly not already posted:

December 27th on a project he was involved in before they knew of his passing, possibly the last of such news to be published:
(Lex is mentioned about halfway down as writing the script and would be directing.)

That song has me crying. I'm so sorry about the loss of your daughter and so sorry we lost such a wonderful and generous man.She was probably waiting at the gate to welcome him and gripe about Tripping the Rift biting off of Lexx.

I offer my heartfelt condolences to Lex's family and loved-ones. This is also a blow to all of us who did not know him personally, but very much loved his creativity and the show Lexx.

Thanks Squish for that video and Angel for posting the screen shots, because you remind us of how truly dynamic a person he was.

I have always most valued musicians who write their own material because it seems there is the greatest potential for emotive energy in that sort of encompassing endeavor, and Lex's performances in the various shows - modestly done without credit - are similarly some of the most compelling performances of all of Lexx: and that is saying much indeed.

BU

Edit: Kaden - yes! That is my number one favorite scene of the episode and perhaps the whole series.

It really is a great loss. Such sad, unexpected news...:-(
I loved Lex G's guest performances in Lexx and I will also remember him fondly for his participation in one of the coolest Xmas films ever. Whatever the guy did, it never failed to cheer me up. Until now.

My condolences to Lex's family and friends.
He will be greatly missed - until we maybe all meet again in the next cycle of time.

I had only one exchange with Mr. Gigeroff, when I interviewed him for my retrospective on Lexx. He was friendly and helpful - funny, too. His untimely passing is a real loss, and I too offer my condolences to his family, friends and fans, here and everywhere else.
